The panel above is one of my favorites in all the comics I’ve read. It’s on the last page of Zot! issue #12 (published circa 1985) where Zot, a superhero from a alternate reality Earth where everything is perfect, kisses Jenny, a “normal” girl from our Earth. It was sweet, optimistic and refreshingly NORMAL. Why did Spider-Man so often turn away from Mary Jane? Shouldn’t the hero be happy to have a girlfriend, and just kiss her? Zot and Jenny were in love and so they kissed each other. It shouldn’t have been a big deal, but at that time, it was. Comics never ended simply or sweetly. [...]
Happy birthday Brian Hines! Both Kevin and Brian are Pisces. Make what assumptions you will, astrologists.
Things that exist in the mind of all Hines brothers and likely few other sets of three people: the image of Zot!, Booyar, the landscape of Clapboard Ridge, They Might Be Giants as seen through a net at Toad’s Place in New Haven, The movie Batman as seen at the Palace Theater on Main Street Danbury, Outer Limits Comics, The Pembroke Panthers and Spite Magazine.
Canada + Cleveland + Connecticut = wryness off the muthaeffin charts!
